FinderView
An Android field tool for film photographers
FinderView helps photographers use a smartphone as a viewfinder, exposure meter, and working field companion. It is designed for film photography workflows across 35mm, 120, 4x5, and other sheet film formats.
Standard format view
Standard formats on the main screen
The main viewfinder screen keeps framing, exposure, and working information together for everyday film photography use.
Panoramic format view
Panoramic formats with a wider preview
FinderView also adapts its layout for wider formats, making panoramic framing easier to judge in the field.
Framing
Format-aware viewfinder tools
FinderView supports framing for formats such as 35mm, 120, 4x5, and other sheet film sizes, giving photographers a quick way to preview composition in the field.
Exposure
Metering and working decisions
The app is built to assist with exposure and related setup decisions, helping photographers move from rough estimates to more consistent field practice.
Calculations
Useful photographic references
FinderView also supports lenses, film formats, bellows extension, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, pinhole work, and related photographic calculations.
FinderView Core
Free core feature set
View the full list of features included in FinderView Core, including metering, formats, lens and film setup, hyperfocal tools, and image recording.
FinderView Pro
Expanded Pro feature groups
See the additional Pro-only features, including advanced metering, kit libraries, focus tools, optics, extra formats, triggering, and capture workflow features.
Upgrades
Incremental module unlocks
Review the individual upgrade modules available from Core, or the all-modules upgrade that unlocks the full Pro feature set.
Mounted camera use
Designed to be mounted on film cameras
FinderView is intended specifically for mounting the phone on film cameras, whether that means classic camera bodies or 3D-printed designs. It is built around prime-lens work rather than zooms, and is especially useful with cameras whose original viewfinders are limited or whose built-in meters are no longer reliable.
Expandable workflow
Start with Core and expand when needed
FinderView can be used as a straightforward Core toolset or expanded through individual modules and the full Pro unlock. That makes it possible to keep a simpler setup for basic field use, or build towards a more specialised workflow over time.
